RESUMO
Objectives: We evaluate a modification of gastrocystoplasty using the Linear Cutter stapler to harvest the segment for augmentation without opening the stomach
Patients and Methods: Ten patients [6 children and 4 adults] underwent gastrocystoplasty. Indications for surgery included urinary incontinence and upper tract deterioration. The use of intestinal segments was precluded because of either young age or impaired renal function. Preoperative renal function, radionuclide renal scan and urodynamic evaluations were done in all patients
Results: There were no complaints of early satiety or weight loss. Mean time to feeding was 5 days postoperatively. None of the patients had clinical evidence of gastric leakage. Of the 10 patients, 8 void spontaneously and 2 require intermittent catheterization. Bladder capacity and compliance and urinary flow rates were significantly improved in all patients. At a mean follow-up period of 9.4 months clinically significant hypochloremic, hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis was not noted in any patient
Conclusion: This simplification reduces operative time and blood loss without introducing complications, and has been successfully used in our first 10 patients

A simple, rapid and direct method for the determination of thymol and eugenol in volatile oils was presented. It was based on the reaction of these compounds with 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolone hydrazone hydrochloride in the presence of cerric ammonium sulfate and direct measurement at 510 nm. The results obtained were encouraging and reasonably reproducible with a relative st and ard deviation less than 1%
